Not A Lawyer

Do you get bombarded by credit card, loan and mortgage offers by snail mail? I did too until I realized that there is a way to opt-out of all (or most) of this snail mail spam.

One of my main concerns was that all of these offers could somehow be stolen from my mailbox or trash and be used to open credit accounts in my name, IDENTITY THEFT.

There is a free service that will let you out-out of pre-screened credit offers. I signed up several months ago and the amount of junk mail credit offers that I receive is now way less. Hopefully it will help you as well.

I just read an excellent article that I want to tell you about. It relates to the new Iphones by Apple and the recent $200 price cut.

While Steve Job has apologized, and offered customers a $100 credit towards their next purchase, he also says that’s just how technology goes. And he’s right, but that doesn’t make you feel any less ripped off by Apple, does it?

The article I just read outlines 4 ways you can recoup your losses if you purchased an Iphone when they first came out.

I don’t want to cut and paste someone else’s work here so I’m going to give you the link and hope you will read it if you bought an Iphone. I was over at Digg when I saw it, and the article doesn’t have that many Diggs yet, but I’m hoping it will get more attention so that everyone who needs the information will see it.

I did not buy an Iphone. I tend to wait until technology cools a bit and the price drops before I dive in. Plus I get a new cell phone from Verizon in a couple months for free anyway and I’m happy with the service I get from them, so I’ll probably lock into another contract there.

If I had bought an Iphone, I’d want my $200 back. And not a “suck it” answer and $100 store credit from Steve Jobs.
